    Commentary: Riding Is A Cheaper Method Of Transport But That Only Shows How Cheap Your Life Is

    Hi

    Someone posted a bold comment about riding motorcycle in Singapore and relate to the BKE accident recently. In the post he criticise riders saying that ride motorcycle as a form of cheap transport. He say maybe there is a trend in singapore because like almost all riders are malay and told the malays to take care. He was a rider to a driver (car to lorries who cares) and realise that singapore roads are not for bikers.

    In the post:

    “i am a rider and driver from cars to lorries even class 4, i must say bikers are a pain in the ass (: thankfully i drive now. Lets face the fact that Singapore roads are never suitable for motorcycles.  Yes it may be a cheaper method of transport as compared to a car. However, that only shows how cheap your life is. so if you cant afford to drive, dont ride and just take public transport @ Yusuf norseni i dont know whats the trend going on in SG but it seems like many mlay are riders, please take care buddy. Lets pray for all the casualties and van driver, peace out”

     

    So, who is this guy think he is. All bikers are pain in the ass? All riders are malay? How bout your stupidity is the trending now. People can ride because of hobby and they want to spend the money on bikes. Why you have to mention one race when saying about all the bikers in sg? And from rider to driver means you right to criticise and look down at people who are riding bikes is it? No point you remove your fb.

    I have been riding in singapore close to 10 years now. From small bikes to bigger so i know how it feel as a biker here. I work despatch and delivery too. As a singaporean and malay and a rider, i really feel offended and angry.

    Cinema Speaker At Golden Mile Tower Falls And Hit 2 Women During Movie

    Business development executive Ryan Kuan was expecting a quiet night out with his girlfriend at the cinema when a black speaker, the size of a motorcycle box, fell about 3m, and into the empty seat next to his girlfriend.

    “I was terribly shocked as my girlfriend was inches away from getting hurt,” said the 27-year-old. The accident happened on Monday at the Projector, a cinema in Golden Mile Tower, in Beach Road.

    The speaker then bounced down two steps, and hit cinema-goer Neo Yu Ping, 27, in the knee. It hit another woman in the back before finally coming to a stop.

    “It was dark, so I couldn’t see what was going on,” said Ms Neo, a customer service officer. “I heard a loud bang and, before I knew it, the speaker hit me.”

    The spot of mishap forced the management to pause the film, titled I Am Eurasian – screened as part of the Singapore Heritage Short Film Competition – and turn on the lights. The screening, which started at 8pm, resumed after the two women said they were fine.

    The Straits Times understands that the women were given 10 complimentary tickets to any film of their choice at the Projector. The management also offered to pay their medical expenses.

    A Projector spokesman apologised, and said: “We are looking into the matter, and will take appropriate action to prevent it from happening again. The comfort and safety of our customers is our top priority.”

    The cinema remains open for movie screenings.
